I didn't see a Minneapolis/St. Paul local chapter. There must be lots of people in the Twin Cities area that are big classic movie fans. Let's get together and create a new local chapter for the area, if there isn't already.

I'm planning to go to a local showing of the TCM Big Screen Classics' showing of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" this coming week. I'm sure there will be plenty of other Twin Cities classic movie fans there.

I went to the showing of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" yesterday afternoon, at 2pm. I hadn't seen the movie for many years and was surprised to see it's aged very well. It was quite a very good movie. I was only a bit disappointed there weren't more people there. I believe Sunday afternoons a lot of people like to watch football games, so I'm guessing that's partly why the turnout was low.

I really liked the TCM presentation of the movie. Tiffany Vazquez did her standard wonderful job with the introduction of the movie, as well as the follow-up at the end. I'm looking forward to next month's big screen classic!

Hopefully by then we'll have enough people to form an official Twin Cities TCM Backlot local chapter.

Hi TCMary. Yes, just one and we can became an official Backlot chapter. I'm hoping that one more person comes along before the big screen event next month. Then we can plan on a get together to see it.

Thanks clarklk- I would love to see just one more person in the Twin Cities join up. Is there any way we can get the word out that you know of, or anyone else on this thread might know of? Love to see the Bogie/Bacall flick!

Treasure of the Sierra Madre is the Fathom Event Big Screen Classic - today and Wednesday. I may go on Wednesday to Southdale. Are others still going? I hope we can successfully recruit for the backlot chapter. I need to put the Trylon on my radar. Looks wonderful!
